I'm not sure levelling the West Bank is a great idea. It's home to over 3 million Palestinians.

Israel needs to please show some restraint.

Hopefully Donald Trump will do something but I fear not

I believe the Egyptian army is massed along the border to prevent the Palestinians for moving into Egypt not to start a war with Israel. If the people started trying to migrate to Egypt I believe they would kill them.

Nobody gives a fu$k about Palestinians, not even their own peoples! No such thing as Palestine anyway.
It was always Israel or Jordan.
I’d load them up and deliver then to the Persians.
Persians seemed to like them as “tools”
I’d be curious how much the Persians like their fellow
Moslems.

Israel needs to move these people OUT of their land, period.

West Bank is under occupation by Palestinians. It is not their home.

No Arab or mideast country wants them.

Biblically, their “home” might be Jordan, but they do not want them. They are nasty people, ‘Do not play well with others’.

The Palestinians CHEERED the bodies of the murdered Israeli babies.

There’s no such thing as a Palestinian. And Judea-Samaria (not that leftist misnomer “West Bank”) is part of Israel.

That’s Samaria and Judea.

Shame we weren’t allowed to visit Bethlehem when we were there due to uprisings.

There is a sign on the road in Jerusalem that veers off into that area that says “Jews not allowed”, IIRC.

This isn’t a journalistic article but instead a propaganda piece pushing a manipulative agenda!

Many people don’t realize there was a “Palestine” at one time, for from 1920-48 there was the British Mandate for Palestine, and the name is found on old maps from that time period.

As to there never being a modern nation state of “Palestine”:

Sargon the Great’s army occupied half of Canaan over a hundred years before Abraham stepped foot in the Levant.

C. 1500 BC, the land was called Canaan, not Israel, according to Egyptian stelae. The Egyptians occupied the land under the New Egyptian Kingdom. Later on when Israelites went it they decided to call it by another name. When Babylon took over they renamed it. It was called Palestine by the Greeks and others, c. 500BC, a name later reapplied bytheRomans.

Over time, Catholics took over the land through missionary work, not through conquering, but had it taken from them by invading caliphates, with the Crusades being a reaction to that.

There were no modern nations states then when those names were applied, that is an invention only c. four hundred years or so old, so people now can use any or all of the three to apply to the land.

Many Palestinians trace back to 3100 BC (determined by a Megiddo DNA study), which is over 1,000 years before Abraham.

Other sites dated around 2,500 BC have descendants found among Lebanese Maronite Catholics, and some Palestinians .

Canaanite DNA has been found in numerous modern Jewish people as well, and both sides genetically can lay claim, objectively, to being Semitic.

Islamic govt’s have had a very checkered and bad history concerning how they treat Christians, but with that said, Israel is far from perfect on this as well:

Tucker Carlson
How Does the Government of Israel Treat Christians

https://youtu.be/eHayOkXe5ig?feature=shared

This may anger some people, but any who do so with name-calling won’t make Tucker a liar and if they can prove him or the minister in this video wrong then they should try that route instead.

While not garnering the main headlines, Israel has been very busy in the West Bank for years. Iran has been been funding the Islamic Jihad in the West Bank.

Bibi needs to find someone like Ramzan Kadyrov, pay him a lot of money. But let him run the West Bank his way.

Like Putin did with Kadyrov in Chechnya. It worked out pretty well.

I saw a great video about Islam:

https://youtu.be/mstfjWfWF2Y

It made the point that Islam is in trouble because the Internet means its contradictions and lies can no longer be hidden with censorship . Since the problem Israeli faces is Islam perhaps the solution is a broadcast channel that showcases all the problems with Islam 24/7. Or a cable channel. Something that will enrage a true believer but which they can’t find a way to censor.

Your concern for the Philistines is noted and rejected because it is an empty cistern. You live with the terrorists and be silent about the invasion of illegal criminal aliens. You have no moral standing.

Hamas is a brutal and satanic cult, and unfortunately the majority of the Palestinians seem to be under their sway. . After what they did to those babies and their mother, and the way the people cheered and laughed, I’ve become indifferent to them. I wish all of the children, Israeli and Palestinian, could be rescued from the area but evildoers must be stopped. It can’t keep going on like this.

they aren’t leveling the West Bank.

Israel has shown great restraint. Handing over about 100 criminals to every 1 innocent civilian hostage, putting up with Hamas and other terrorists for 70 years of their country’s existence, giving up land multiple times only to be attacked further by those who are now on that land, etc.

Israel has the right to defend itself and make its borders secure. I like how they are proactive instead of the lazy approach USA has shown in securing all its borders and ports of entry and let us be overrun, and now a ticking time bomb for all sorts of attacks on us citizens.

The whole idea is to remove these radicalized roaches from the area. Its not working they need to go. Make sure there’s nothing to come back to.
